: Mike, staple what to what?

Sorry Lee, instead of using copper wire and drilling holes to stich panels toghether, I used a staple gun w/ 1/4 staples to hole the panels together. Note strip kayaks are much different however it may work with them as well. With S&G, the drilling and copper wire can be a lot of work, expecially with a multi chine kayak. The staple gun offered a refreshing alternative.
Hope this helps.
